COVENT-GARDEN. —Last night the TraOtly of Jane Shore drew the most crowded and brilliant audience of the whole season; the attraction of course chiefly rested on the united exertions o Miss SOMERVILLE and Miss O'NEILL, in the re. spective parts of Alicia and Jane Shore. T' former made her first appearance at this Tl. in Alicia, and fully, justified the high ()pink.), entertained of her abilities. The tenderness, jealousy, rage, despair, and final madness., were most correctly and beautifully ponntayed by lire nor in the sarcastic scenes was she less happy her particular emphasis in her reproach to Hastings, on his midnight visit to Jane Shore, was warmly re ceived by the audience ; and her final exit drew reiterated bursts of applause from every part of the House. Miss O'Neiee is a beautiful repre sentative of the unfortunate heroine. We have so often, and so fullycomMented on her pet tormances, that we have only now to repeat that she exerted all her powers, and that they were received win, that warmth of approbation by the House to which she was justly entitled. We conceive that this Play, in the hands of these distinguished females, will be attended with considerable success. BooTH'S Gloster, we thought, on time whole, rather tame. YOUNG, as Hastings, was more impressive than we ever recollect to have seen him in that part. In the scene with Alicia he was particularly successful. MAcaeany's repre:.entation of Du mont was fully entitled to the commendation it excited, and he proved that he can delineate the noble fervour of virtue with as much expression as he displays in representing characters of a base anti ferocious description.

He assured the audience that, nothing could give him, and all connected -with the Theatre, more plea sure than to obey their commands ; that the ill ness of Mr. HARLey was of a set ions nature, and that as his character in the required piece depend ed more on expressive action, in reference to the share in t h e di alogue passin g scene , t h an on ally which lie had to deliver, it was impossible to have his part read withma giving the piece in a man. gled and uninteresting shape ; but if it was their will, notwithstanding, to have it performed, that will should be obeyed.--This speech, which was delivered with respectful energy, was much ap plauded, but the majority of the audience still i n . sisted on having Barmicide, and it was of course represented, under all the disadvantage of losing one of the chief Performers.

To the Editor of The Correspondent. siß i —in the Report of the Alerting of the Society for Sup. pressing Street Begging in Dublin, published in The boili i , Joutoal of Monday evening last, to toy great surprise I read the following paragraph : " A letter fron.

Now, Sir, 1 will n'ot dwell upon the cruelty of such a re mark, or upon the injury it is likely to do me with the public; and my feeling!• are too much hurt to trust myself to make any comments opon an a,sertion totally devoid of foundation. I can only state, if Mt'.

I trust, Sir, you will do me the justice to publish this letter, and I feel confident that every person who reads it still be equally amazed with myself, bow loch An Interprhtation could be put upon it ; and will acknowledge how undeserving I ant of the censure so onjust4. passed upon my conduct.

MY Lotto,--I regret exceedingly that the application of the Managers of the Associatio n fur soppressiog Nlendicity has deprived are of the pleasure of offering a cont., ibution to their excellent Institution. I had reasons (and I trust proper i. - :..- sons) for deferring soy intention to subscribe until the conclu sion of my performances in Dublin; and I certainly meant my donation to he putTortiollate to t he success of my undertak ing; and, as I had mentioned this intention, to some persons in Dublin interested in the Charity, 1 was, in some degree, pledged to the performanc, of it. I JUL thillii e applica tion to me , to g i ve up part of the pt-tits o f f ray t Ile, a is rather indelicate as every o th er i nd i vidual in sucietv is allowed thr crzitilicat ion of making a voluntary contra's:lion. Still, how ever, I am su sincere a friend to the principle on which this excellent Institution is formed, that. I will comply, rather than not contribute to its permanent establishment ; though I must repeat how much noire complete my satistaction would have been, to have been left to the dictates of my own feel ings. Therefore, if it is pressed, I wilt give the profits of a night At till FiShanthic-strect Theatre, before I icillVe Dulilin, of Which I will give your Lordship due notice.

I allude to lVincliester College. If i shall be able to prove, that you have mistaken the objects of that illustrious charity; that you have pursued an erroneous mode of construction ; that you have attributed abuses which do not exist ; have exaggerated some objections ; arid even misunderstood the langua ge o f th e stat u t e* to ‘ ,..bi.,..1 1 you appeal; I trust the meditated blow which has been aimed at all similar establishments may lose somewhat of its direc tion arid force. " It seems evident from your letter, that yon consider the bounty of the munificent Founder of Winchester as diverted Irons its object, ' the poor and indigent,' and applied to enrich the Wardens and PelloWs, shunt you appear to place in the light of robbers of the poor~ you therefore cite the words of the statute of the Founder, ‘l'atiperes et indigentrs scholares;' literally seeming to consider the word paiiperes the same as is us e d to d es i gnate 'paupers' at our Quarter Sessions! " The word poor, in its primary sense, signifies those woo are riot rich ; and, upon the most severe examination, I think you would find very fete, if any, (notwithstanding you say, in definitely, they are ' all to easy cirtunistarices'), very few, if any, of the parents who could fairly be so estimated. It would be impertinent to send a senator to a dictionary ; but, permit me, Sir, to think, that those who have had the belie tits of this public education, to which you seen! at all events unfriendly, would heti er have understood the mewling of the words 4 pauperes et indi;-,tes,' grammatically considered, and without the adjunct ' scholares.'

He began by considering the no billy, or elevation, of the refined arts, and the relation that anatomy bears to them. It was observed, that the great masters of ancient Greece derived their knowledge of the human structure from comparative anatomy, or a reference to the system of animals ; the dissection of the human. body being forbidden, on account of superstitions feelings, by which the minds of Eastern nations are, to this day, obscured. Those among the mos. dernsb who first Conceived the idea of making this scietice serviceable to the arts, were Leonardo da. Vinci and Titian Vecelli. Soon after appeared nearly the first and noblest work ,of a:m(10171y, that of Vesalius, the explanatory wood cats of which were rendered famous by the assistant ge nius of Titian. This work was produced for the gratification of curiosity, as also two other distin guished speciMens, one by Hall, wbieti unfolded the e,tient of that science in the time or . Henry works of Titian, Michael Angelo, and Iftiphael, w ere i nstanced as the must perfect exaolpl,es of a union between anatomy and the arts of design. The lecture was for the most part occupied in preparatory observations to the suc ceeding course, during which the danger of plac ing the science upon too general and abstract principles was pointed out, and a strict' observ ance of decorum was continually enforced. Alr, NEST, the President, and a number of the Aca demicians, were present. - Lady of Count AIt:NSTFR, the Hanoverian AMbassador, was unexpectedly taken ill, last week, at Canterbury, on their return from Llano ver to his Excellency's residence in Grosvenor-, plac e , and delivered of twin daughters.
